Rule 3 Media Coverage of Court Proceedings

If you're a journalist or news outlet wanting to record, photograph, or broadcast a Tax Court proceeding, this rule tells you which standard applies. The Tax Court doesn't have its own separate rule for media coverage. Instead, it follows the same rule that other Oregon courts use, found in UTCR 3.180 (the Uniform Trial Court Rules).

This means the judge will apply that existing rule whenever it makes sense for tax cases. In practice, this covers things like getting permission before bringing cameras or recording equipment into the courtroom, and following any limits the judge sets on how media can cover a hearing or trial.

If you want to know the specific details, like what you need to request permission or what restrictions might apply, you'd need to look at UTCR 3.180 itself. This rule just points you there rather than repeating those details.
